News and Information
for the Busy Fanner
(Furnished by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
The Canadian wheat carry-over
July 31, 1932, will be in the neigh-
borhood of 103 million bushels, ac-
cording to an estimate published by
the Bureau of Statistics. This is the
smallest carry-over since July 31,
1928.
Will Grow Lima Beans
A fairly large acreage of Lima
beans will be grown in East Elgin
for canning factory use, according to
reports received at the St. Thomas
office of the Department. Production
tests have been made in both East
and West Elgin during the last three
years, and satisfactory yields of Lima
beans reported. The average yield
is 1,300 to 1,500 pounds to the acre.
The acreage of soy beans in the
county will be small.
Plan Your Program
Now is the time to plan next win-
ter's feeding program, not next win-
ter. At this time, farmers can esti-
mate whether they will be short of
hay and succulent roughage before
next spring comes around. There is
still time to sow annual hay crops,
such as soy beans, or a mixture of
oats and peas. Both of these crops
give high yields, and high feeding
value. An extra acre of corn for sil-
age might be valuable.
Seed corn, this year, is not only
reasonable in price, but is of ex-
ceedingly high quality. A few extra
tons of high protein hay, and a well-
filled silo, will be of considerable as-
sistance in redticing the feed bill of
next winter.
Better Farm Practices
In spite of the depression and the
shortage of ready cash, farmers ev-
erywhere in Ontario are using this
year more careful and thorough
farm' practices than ever before.
Seed merchants report that they
have never had such a demand for
high class seeds. All available sup -
lies of alfalfa, alsike, red clover,
wheat, barley, oats, buckwheat and
peas have been purchased and sown
on Ontario farms. Strange to say,
there has been an unprecedented de-
mand for registered grain. Hardware
merchants report a wonderful sale of
screening materials for fanning
mills. Druggists report greatly in-
creased sales of Formalin for treat-
ing grain for srttnt. Seed cleaning
plant operators report heavy increas-
es ,in business.
These facts all indicate that the
average farther is not only taking
advantage of low prices but is do-
ing his part toward meeting de-
pressed prices. .Ire is doing every-
thing possible to increase his yield
per acre and thus lower the produc-
tion cost:, which enables hint in
sortie: degree to successfully meet the
present low prices.
Weekly Crop Report
Heavy rains have assured ample
moisture in practically every part of
Ontario. Crops are looking splendid.
Fail wheat, clover and alfalfa are
making excellent growth. The apple
bloom is Very heavy in moot, orch-
ard districts, and a considerable in-
crease is shown over the province
in the number of orchards being"
sprayed. Farmers are coating to re-
alize that they mast either spray or
cut down their orchards altogether,
Many Poor Hatches
Reports received at the Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa, indicate that
chicks are not hatching as plentiful-
y as usually ,this spring. Hatches as
ow as 10 per cent. of the total eggs
are reported, while 20 per cent, and
25 per cent, hatches are not uncom-
1tGn, This. condition seems to be
fairly general throughout the whole
of Canada. These poor hatches,
along with the late season, may have
a decided effect upon egg production
next winter, Buyers should be ad-
vised to buy late chinks with caution
because experiments have shown
that chicks that cannot mature be-
fore winter are poor investment,-

The Apple Maggot
According to a recent statement
by' Chas. W. Bauer, secretary Ontar-
io Growers' Markets Council, Ham-
ilton, about half the apple orchards
in Ontario are infected with the ap-
ple maggot, The infestation in the
main is slight, but there are some
heavily -diseased orchards in some
counties. Mr. Andrew Fulton, over-
seas fruit representative, has advis-
ed that Britain will place an embar-
go on all early supplies of apples if
maggot is found in one shipment.
This danger necessitates growers
taking every' practical measure to
eliminate the insect from all com-
mercial orchards at least. They are
urged to spray thoroughly for con-
trol of these pests.
New Advisory Board
Hon. Thomas' L. Kennedy, Minis-
ter of Agriculture, has announced
the appointment of a five -man Ad-
visory Board under the chairmanship
of D. O. Bull, of Brampton, to assist
the Department in matters pertain-
ing to the live stock industry of the
province. The other four members
are: W. A. Dryden, Brooklin; J. E.
13rethour, Burford; Walter. Scott, of
Sutton West; and J. D. Brien, of
Ridgetown. All members of the new
Board are widely known for their
interest in the live stock industry of
the province. Mr. Bull and Mr.
Dryden are past presidents of the
Royal Winter Fair. Mr. Bull is
famous for his Jersey herd, Mr. Bre-
thour has specialized in the breeding
of bacon hogs, Mr. Scott is a prom-
inent live stock breeder, and Mr.
Brien is chairman of the Live Stock
Records Branch, Ottawa.
Ontario Plums for Britain -
The ten per cent. tariff which
went into effect March lst, 1932, on
foreign plants entering the United
Kingdom, in the opinion of Andrew
Fulton, fruit growers' representative
in Britain, offers a splendid oppor-
tunity to the Ontario plum industry
to develop this potential outlet. In
1930 the United Kingdom imported
44 million pounds of plums, which
is more than twice the annual pro-
duction of Canada. At _present the
greater proportion of these plums
conies front European countries, In
Mr. Fulton's opinion there is no rea-
son why Ontario should not capture
a large portion of this trade. On
the basis of prices received in rec-
ent years, the Ontario grower
would receive prices ranging from
5 cents to SO cents tier 11 -quart
basket at shipping point. The On-
tario varieties that have given the
best satisfaction have been Grand
Duke, Greenage and Reinclaude. In
anticipation of meeting this demand,
growers should thin their plums this
summer, if tate crop is heavy, Mr,
Fulton advises, In his poiniolr, the
plums can be packed and shipped
sncccssfully only through central
lsecking plants and plants for export
must be picked, packed and pre -cool-
ed in the one day.
Battling the Weeds
Through a series ,,f Annual Meet-
ings, one in each county, more. than ,
1000 Weed Inspectors in Ontario
were brought together along with
Reeves and Road titiperintell dams.
The Weed Act was explained and
suggestions and instructions were
given by A. R. G. Smith, District..
Weed Inspector for Western Ontar-
io and John D. McLeod, District In-
spt:ctor for Eastern Ontario.
Weed inspectors reported the
Sow Thistle to be the worst weed on
cultivated land with Twitch Grass a
close second. Both these weeds are
now found in every county. Some
counties reported Sow Thistle to be
spreading while others maintained it
is decreasing. One townslip report-
ed a decrease of 35%, All Inspect-
ors reported a marked increase in
the co-operation and support of the
ratepayers in the municipality; Witlt
the exception of a few individuals,
farmers generally are anxious to
have:the "t+'Veed Act judiciously and,
vigorously enforced. Road Superin-
tendents voiced the opinion that the
Wild Carrot and Chicory were the
two worst weeds on roadsides; Both
these weeds grow rapidly after cut-
ting and many road authorities felt
that they would have to resort to
chemicals to destroy roadside weeds.
Due to the anxiety of the average
farmer to secure the highest poss-
ible yield per acre this year, Mr. 5.
A. Carroll, chief of Weed Adminis-
tration in Ontario, predicts marked
progress in Weed Control during
the the growing season of 1932.
